    You can use the name of the organ (croí/cridhe) as in 'mo chroí' (my heart). Meán/Meadhan means 'centre' or 'middle' and is usually used in a geographical sense.
    Thanks, I am looking for something similar to the word soul, heart is just a phrase that we use in English (not as an organ). What phrasing would be the best to get the meaning correct. I dont know that i care if it is perfectly translatable to English, i just am looking for a Gaelic phrase with the same/similar meaning.

    Yes, I am aware of that. However that is what is used as Gaeilge. The word for 'soul' is anam. (In any of the three Goidelic languages.) Quite unrelated.
